IGP option is not in my BIOS while the external monitor without driver will not see you card :(Damn the M17xR3 there was no such problems The M18x R2 huge disappointment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You disabled it by switching from IGFX to PEG mode. Since the integrated works and the discrete does not, switch back to IGFX so we can diagnose the 780m. And the default windows driver will still turn on external monitors if the internal is not detected. It will only switch one display on however. This is why desktop users can install graphics card drivers without a built in display. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
